A few days ago I was looking for the answer of this question and I found this in the Github Ratchet issues: https://github.com/ratchetphp/Ratchet/issues/489

The last answer, answered by heidji, says this:

I only added this comment for newbies like me who need a quick instruction how to implement SSL: Via the ReactPHP docs you only need to construct the SecureServer mentioned in such manner:
$webSock = new React\Socket\Server('0.0.0.0:8443', $loop);
$webSock = new React\Socket\SecureServer($webSock, $loop, ['local_cert' => '/etc/ssl/key.pem', 'allow_self_signed' => true, 'verify_peer' => false]);
and then inject into the IoServer as mentioned by cboden above

So it seems that now there is a way to implement a secure websocket server with Ratchet without needing an HTTPS proxy.

Here you have the SecureServer class documentation: https://github.com/reactphp/socket#secureserver
